Looks great. Hopefully they'll make this / their leak official on the 24th - tomorrow. And then (eventually) something more specific about their mirror-less intentions, rather than just... "we're workin' on it."

Best

^ $ according to the review that follows it is $3300 US, which should be around $4200 at a 0.78 exchange rate, but never seems to work as simply as that. Too many middlemen perhaps.

I've been contemplating a switch, David.

But, you know what, after thinking long and hard about it for the last week or so, I think I'm just going to stick with Canon. Canon's colour science is far ahead of Sony/Nikon. And, I'm not shooting as much now as I used to, anyway. I never ended up pursuing my dream of teaching landscape photography workshops. That, and, I've gotten used to a very straight-forward workflow using the Canon software.

Maybe it might be nice to have both systems? But, that's a lot of money sitting in one place!

Canon colour may have been better in the past but I think Sony has caught up or past it recently with the A9 which has the latest Sony colour science.
I did a blind test between 1DX2, Sony A9 and Nikon D5. I had the A9 as the best and 1Dx2 not far behind. To my eye the Nikon was easily the worst and was a distant last (yellow/green cast or skin tones too brown).

So I am not sure that is still the case that Canon is the best. They have been the leaders for a long time but I think they are becoming complacent and they cripple their models way too hard to protect the model hierarchy.

Greg.

Greg, you're right -- there has been a bronze/brown cast to Nikon skin tones.

I wonder if you did the test again, but, this time used the native RAW decoder for each sensor (DPP for Canon, for example, which 100% honours Canon's proprietary RAW spec), whether you would achieve the same outcome.

Using ACR//LightRoom for all of them does nothing but injustice because you are at the whims of Adobe's interpretation of colour/data/RAW.

Sony doesn't even factor in my potential purchasing decisions. I'm too bedded in with Canon.

That may well change things I agree. Canon make excellent cameras, so do Sony and Nikon. Its what you prefer and like and what aspects are most important that makes the choice.
